OPERATION
NOTE:
The flame start control unit detects faults in
the flame starting system; these faults are in-
dicated through various flash codes dis-
played on the preheating indicator (see
FAULTS AND REMEDIAL ACTIONS
Section 4.1).
6.3 Jump starting
Use jump leads to connect positive terminal to
positive terminal and negative terminal to
negative terminal of the assisting battery.
Operation_Pic_number:1
When battery partially discharged, jump star-
ting from another tractor.
● Connect jump leads to the discharging trac-
tor's battery in sequence (1-4).
● Start the engine of the second tractor.
● Start engine after ca. 15 minutes.
● Once the engine is running, disconnect the
cables in reverse order.
WARNING:
A 24 Volt current destroys electronic
components.
Do not allow contact between the
non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps. The jump lead connected to
the positive terminal should not
come into contact with any
electrically conductive parts of the
vehicle - danger of shorting!
To avoid sparks, always attach the
jump lead clamps in the correct
order.

Jump starting a partially discharged battery
with another battery.
● Connect jump leads to the assisting battery in
sequence (1-4).
● Start engine immediately.
● Once the engine is running, disconnect the
cables in reverse order.
If the attempt is unsuccessful.
● Connect jump leads to two assisting batteries
in sequence (1-8).
● Start engine immediately.
● Once the engine is running, disconnect the
cables in reverse order.

NOTE:
Assisting batteries must have a voltage of
12 volts and around the same capacity (Ah)
as the discharged batteries.
When jump starting, the engine must be
started immediately after connecting, other-
wise the assisting battery will become disch-
arged as well.
Do not reverse the terminal polarity.
Use only jump leads with sufficient cross-
section, and with insulated clamps.
Do not disconnect a discharged battery from
the on-board electrical system.
If the tractor is left unused for an extended
period, the battery can be recharged with a
battery charger (12V).
